The half-life of a nuclide is 737 hrs

Let the initial mass of nuclide is N° = 100

The final mass of nuclide after 407 hours

= 100 - 38 = 62

The expression for decay constant is

λ = 1/t ln(N°/Nt)

Substitute the given values and calculate the decay constant as,

λ = 1/407hr ln(100/62)

λ = 9.4 x 10^-4/hr

Now, the half-life is calculated as,

t1/2 = 0.693/λ

= 0.693/9.4 x 10^-4/hr

t1/2 = 737 hrs

Hence, the half-life of a nuclide is 737 hrs

If two charged objects in a laboratory are brought to a distance of 0.22 meters away from each other. What is

zysi [14]

Answer:

$q_2=2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$

Explanation:

The charge on one object, $q_1=9.9\times 10^{-5}\ C$

The distance between the charges, r = 0.22 m

The force between the charges, F = 4,550 N

Let q₂ is the charge on the other sphere. The electrostatic force between two charges is given by the formula as follows :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\q_2=\dfrac{Fr^2}{kq_1}\\\\q_2=\dfrac{4550\times (0.22) ^2}{9\times 10^9\times 9.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\q_2=2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$

So, the charge on the other sphere is $2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$ .

If the primary coil of a transformer has 200 turns and is supplied with 120 v ac power, how many turns must the secondary coil h

Oduvanchick [21]

The ratio of the turns to the voltage should be equal
i.e: 200/120 = t/12
so the secondary coil should have 20 turns

a small negatively charged sphere with a mass of 5.4*10^-5 is suspended between two parallel plates. the potential difference is

labwork [276]

Here, Fe = Fg
q.E = m.g
We have: E = 360 V
m = 5.4 × 10⁻⁵
g = 9.8 m/s² [ constant value for earth system ]

Substitute their values into the expression:
q (360) = 5.4 × 10⁻⁵ × 9.8
q = 52.92 × 10⁻⁵ / 360
q = -1.47 × 10⁻⁶ [ negative sign represents the nature of charge ]

So, Your Final answer would be 1.47 × 10⁻⁶

Hope this helps!

Suppose Person A runs off the edge of the cliff at 2 m/s and Person B runs off the edge at 1 m/s. Which will hit the ground fart

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

<h2>Person A will hit a distance father</h2>

Explanation:

Based on the fact that the velocity of person A is more than that of person B, that is from the question, person A has a velocity of 2m/s and person B has a velocity of 1m/s, this clearly shows that person A has the tendency to hit a distance farther from the cliff than person B.
